“Yearly CT scans of high-risk lung cancer patients has increased the early diagnosis of lung cancer as well as the identification of pulmonary nodules. Yet not all lung nodules are cancerous. The BDX-XL2 test has shown early promise in ruling out cancer through blood samples, including a finding by the pulmonary nodule plasma proteomic classifier ... Read more

“…the growing use of ddPCR assays for identifying the subset of patients who should be placed on targeted therapy options is providing carefully measured results with rapid turnaround time for optimal clinical utility. This approach enabled by liquid biopsy means that physicians do not have to wait weeks for genomic information that may enable the ... Read more

“In our experience, we have found it beneficial to collect the liquid biopsy at the time of the initial tissue diagnosis if NSCLC is suspected by bedside pathology with rapid onsite evaluation (ROSE). The blood is stored by the company that operates the assay at no cost to the patient or the institution. Once a ... Read more

“I see ddPCR as the future of personalized cancer therapies. Based on our cancer center’s successful experience with the technology, I believe it is only a matter of time before these kinds of blood-based liquid biopsies become an indispensable method for doctors to categorize a patient’s disease and determine the best course of treatment.” – ...
